Here are my commonly used tools/equipment if you'd like to try them out....
- Lathe: (amzn.to/3orYsOy) this lathe is freaking amazing, very well built, solid, strong, variable speed, 110 or 220 volt. I couldn't have designed it better.
- Lathe tools: (amzn.to/3agd3ay) carbide tip, (amzn.to/3t5iMsA) great beginner set
- File Sander: (amzn.to/36o3hlE), this is the cheapest and highest quality I've found. Fantastic for those hard to get to sanding projects.
- Angle Grinder: (amzn.to/36lgewG), one of my most indispensable tools, (amzn.to/3iXtNHW) the flat head helps get into tight spaces, carving and sanding disks are a life saver.
- Grinder Carving Disk: (amzn.to/39oWqKG), this is a really great disk for roughing out medium sized projects
- Grinder Sanding Disks: (amzn.to/3cj91Rv), fantastic for sanding and minor-moderate shaping stages
- Round Sanding System: (amzn.to/3r11N8Q) sleeves go around an inflatable ball (amzn.to/2KVCUvW )or make your own foam ball, attaches to a drill, great for tight corners.
- Palm Sander: (amzn.to/3r1mJg8), the most important sanding tool, used on almost every job. I like the size of the sand paper for both this and on the lathe by hand.
- Chain Saw: (amzn.to/2MbWNj2), has worked well for years, I also bought this electric one (amzn.to/3qZOqpp) for the quieter in the garage projects
- Oscillating Tool: (amzn.to/3puK4q1) great for cutting and sanding sharp corners and tight spots.
- Super Glue: (amzn.to/3pFg5vT) thin and runny, perfect for stabilizing bark or other unstable wood.
- Resin: (amzn.to/3t7WSVo), one of the cheaper but higher quality, does it all resins. Great results.
- Pigments: amzn.to/3sYC5ng, great quality for resin
- Pressure Pot: (amzn.to/3tfp1u2) 5 gallon for the big resin projects to get rid of bubbles, or (amzn.to/3pwX0M8) for the smaller average jobs 2.5 gallon, both need minor modifications to work.
- Protection: (amzn.to/39t3lm0), best face shield yet for carving and lathe work

Was a former foot and ankle guy myself and got into wood work several years ago...and that's one of the only things that soothes my head and makes me calmer...like you, I work and work on a piece until that moment when that FIRST Coat of stain or sealer or shellac goes on...then the entire process is well worth it!!! Beautiful, Sir and for a good cause! Aloha
Thank you so much!

Mistakes were made, yes, but no one got hurt and you learned something. Project turned out great and you Doc, are a wonderful person. Keep up the good work. Condolences to your employee and her family.
Thank you!
I really appreciate the 2 why’s that you do this wood turning. We can all use something for relaxation. And the kid thing is so important. Whoever would do that is the lowest form of creation, not even human.
I can get a little wound up sometime. My kids were killed in a car/ truck wreck 1979. Dixie was 4.5 years Jim was 22 months lucky for them, they’re guaranteed.
I really appreciate your support. That's so sad to hear about your kids.

My wife bought me a WEN 12x18 lathe for Christmas this past year and it gets all of my spare time.
It's addictive... !

What an awesome individual you are. May your help to save children have many many rewards and successes. Bless your heart.
Thank you very much.
What a gorgeous piece. I like your idea of thinking out of the box as it were, concerning stuffing it with the bag so as to not waste product.
Thank you Kelli!
Artforour.org
You’re an awesome person for what you do for saving these poor children. Lord bless your. Great project.
Thank you very much!
You're such an amazing human being. People like you make me want to be better and do more. Thank you for the inspiration 😊
Thank you Danielle, you've made my day!
Artforour.org
Great job Doc, the world needs more humanitarians like yourself. I am just purchasing my first lathe and am newly retired. I love the work you do, your artistic talent is awesome. Keep fighting the good fight and God Bless.
Thank you very much! Good luck on your lathe purchase! If you follow the link I've suggested and end up purchasing a different one, it'll still create a donation for Operation Underground Railroad. Good luck!
Great job mate. I love your spirit. Keep doing what you do. Buddha, Beachmere, Queensland, Australia

Beautiful work. It was amazing to watch!
Thank you Dotty!
I'm a nurse so I can understand the need to unwind after a stressful day. After watching your channel for some time I decided to become a member... Not for the perks but for the cause. Well done!
Thank you so much Jacki! Much appreciated.

Well, as a double lung transplant recipient - thank you both for your work and service in the medical field. This DLT journey and phase of my life has been fascinating and inspirational - it's absolutely incredible what it happening in medicine today.
Dan, I found I outgrew my mini lathe rather quickly also. I, too , am a student of youtube U. lol I am still learning after a year of soul soothing woodturning. Keep learning and growing in your craft! Bless you for helping your employees.
Thank you!
Really cool idea with the spiral cut and the vines. For someone new to turning, you sure did an excellent job. It’s good to know there are people like you out there paying it forward and helping others.
Thank you very much!
Artforour.org
A very beautiful project. Impressed that all the TH-cam profits go to people who truly need it. Good job sir!
Thank you! You bet!
I love what you do, keep it up the world needs more people like you in it. I've used cardboard before for the inside of a hollow form to act like a base. I just make a tube and hot glue it in place. Hope that will help. Keep up your work with the kids.
Thank you for the feedback!
People like you give back my faith in humanity from time to time.
Do you have a moisture separator fitted in your compressed airline before the pressure pot? Compressors can provide a lot of moisture.
Thank you very much! I hadn't gotten a moisture separation system yet, but that's not a bad idea. Thanks!

Love this vase. So pretty and unusual. When rotozip first came out, years ago, I got m husband one for Christmas. He thought it was dumb until he started using it. He did kitchen remodeling and used it when applying laminate to cabinet fronts and trimming laminate on countertops. Wore out two or three of them. Very versatile tool.
Agreed, fun to see what it can do. Thank you!
Yes the moisture turns the resin cloudy. Happened to me too. I'm a novice also. Been turning for about 5 month's and love it. My friend who taught me the basics can't believe the pieces I've created in such a short time.
Anyway, awesome vase!
I'm going to try it, thanks for the idea.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
love the creativity of your projects and your cause.
a small thing if I may: I get that you like turning green wod however before you get the final shape and add the resin it would probably be a god idea to dry it fully and also either use CA glue or resin for those cracks as it's very likely they will continue to migrate over time as the wood dries more
Thank you! I appreciate the advise!
Artforour.org
Beautiful
Thank you Ram!

Regarding your resin turning milky. I didn’t read all the comments so I may be repeating someone else. I have seen other artists who reached out to the resin manufacturer to get suggestions when the resin doesn’t work as expected. Your work is great and your cause is as well. Thank you for your videos and donations.
Thank you for your support!

Great job
Gracias!

I've seen Kim Tippin use thin plastic sheets she gets at the Dollar Store to make epoxy forms. They're flexible and easy to cut and form around her projects.
Good idea! Thanks.
This is so awesome I love it. God bless the job you have done in helping these children. Praying that your items sell for large amount.
You are so kind
We need more people like you in the world. You got my Sub Dan, Thanks.
Thank you Benny!
The world is a better place for you being here. May God shower His blessings on you and yours.
BTW... awesome vase!
You are very kind. Thank you!
Beautiful vase. Love the vines.
Thank you!
C'est vraiment très beau vous avez beaucoup d'imagination felicitation 🥰❤❤❤
Thank you!!

Stunning! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Keep it up doc,its just great 👍 and the ideas are just great. I’m impressed with the idea of helping the kids,the world needs more people like you.👍🏻🤗
Thank you!!
I found your channel because of this piece. I ended up watching other ones you made before it, but I subscribed to your channel not only because you do great work, but why you do it. This piece is absolutely amazing, I love the frosted part, I think it makes the vase look amazing. I actually thought you did it on purpose. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you very much!
I like the spiral. I started turning as stress relief from work. Most of what I make is given away or traded for wood to turn more stuff.
Thank you! It's great therapy...
Maybe you could try making a ginger jar resin wood mix lamp base with twinkle lights inside as well as the regular light up top...... love the work and the cause so much
Good ideas! Thank you!
Artforour.org
I really like this turn was a great inspiration for my self really enjoyed it
Thank you Donald!

This is an absolutely stunning creation and what a wonderful cause - beautiful end result.
Thank you very much!
That looks amazing!! Great work 👍😁
Thank you!
For both the inside and the outside form, You might want to try using thin Plastic cutting boards hot glued to the wood. I've seen Kim Tippin use that with some of her projects and it seems to work out quite well for her.
Thanks for the advice David!

Again... Another beautiful piece of art Doc!!
Thank you so much 😀
New subscriber here. This looks amazing and I love the frosty look. Great job.
Thank you!!
Beautiful! Keep doing what you are doing!!!
Thank you!
@@artgivinghope you are welcome!
I liked the frosty band best actually. It's beautiful.
Thank you! Happy mistake...
Differently it is just awesome and stunningly beautiful.
I appreciate that a lot!
Awesome
Thanks!

The project turned out beautiful and I wish you the best of luck with your charity. I bought a Dremel rotozip Year’s ago and they are great tools.
Thank you! They're quite versatile...
Man that just hurt my feelings to see that top frost like that. You did so good on the whole design. Beautiful piece
Thank you! Resin is a cruel mistress!
Very nice.
Obrigado!
Artforour.org
That is just so interesting to look at. Personally, I don't really mind the frosty look since it is not all like that. Very nice!
Thank you Yvonne!
Artforour.org
Perfect.
Thanks!
Artforour.org
Cool project
Thanks!
On the next project like this get a router you can set depth on and route the depth of where the epoxy will go into. Don't take out the center yet. That way you can keep it all together better and not have to fill in the center with bags a pray it don't leak lol. Love the project and totally gunna steal the idea... just fyi haha. Also when working with resin make sure the wood is completely dry or it can introduce air bubbles. For this I would have routed out the area then wrapped the vines in it while they were wet and pliable then set it all aside to dry. Easier to form the vines and allow moisture to dry out for the resin. The moisture from the first pour is rising to the top saturating the wood from the heat generated. That's my guess of the foggy 2nd pour.
Great ideas!
good
Thanks!
Artforour.org
Looks good
Thank you!
I have a couple dozen bowls, magic wands, pens and boxes on a table at my electrical supply store that i'm selling right now. I'm giving 100% of the money to the Make A Wish Foundation for the next few months. I set a goal of $500 and im close.
That's fantastic! Nice work!
Artforour.org
This is something spectacular at first I thought it was gold but now I know di
Thanks!
That is a very nice and out of the box project .i think the white color is from moist try next time before you out the next pour let it stand open for few good minutes and check your compressor tank .thanks for sharing . you got my sub . Cheers Ahron
Thank you! Good ideas...
I knit socks people love them.
Cool!
Try putting your mixed resin in a vacuum pot and see if removing any small air bubbles. I have seen other wood-resin turners do this first before pouring there resin to prevent foaming. It maybe worth a try
It totally works! I find that out after that project .. 😀
Awesome piece, and great cause! I have that same lathe. The red button is an emergency stop button. You can lock the spindle on the left side just above the motor. There is a locking pin that screws in to lock the spindle.
I just discovered that lock option. Thank you for the input!
Sharp elegance piece
Thank you!
The cloudiness is most likely from moisture, as you said. I will put my pieces in the oven at 175-225 degrees prior to doing the second pour to drive out the moisture. This would have possibly been an issue in your particular case, as those temps would most likely damage your plastic bag “filler” piece in the center. You could try using a blow dryer to just dry the top area where you are pouring. The heat from a blow dryer shouldn’t produce enough heat, or would at least be controllable enough, not to damage the plastic filler. Also, make sure moisture isn’t coming in to your pressure pot with the compressed air supply. I was having issues even after I warmed my pieces in the oven until I discovered that my inline water trap on my air supply line was junk! Good luck and keep up the great work!!
Awesome feedback! Thank you!!
Artforour.org
you may want to have a look at the Sorby Ring tool for end grain turning it is fast to use and gives a really good finish without the tareout
I'll give it a look! Thank you!
Artforour.org
The vac at end may be misting micro air froth from in the wood as it cannot escape like the previous pour with air gap. Aquariums use wood diffuser blocks for that. Use a jiggle/vibrating table to settle bubbles out of resin and pour second half at atmosphere maybe?
Great idea! Thank you...
Artforour.org
Dan your approach is inspirational. I like that you include things that didn't work so well, and that you verbalize your thought process in very casual and understandable style. There will be plenty of folks like me offering advice on what you should or shouldn't do. But one of your greatest strengths is your fresh and unbridled creativity, unbound by traditions and self imposed limitations. I laugh sometimes to think I had a shop teacher many years ago state that you should never put a screwdriver tip in a drill. That said, it would seem that moisture is the culprit behind the clouds in your resin. Do you have a moisture tester for wood? It's a good tool to have in your arsenal. Much success to you in all your endeavors. I look forward to your next video, and to where your imagination will carry us all. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for your support. A moisture device is definitely on the list...
Artforour.org
As a fellow newbie... well done.
Thank you sir!
It took me like a solid minute to figure out how you were turning in the down direction instead of side-to-side. lol
Learning how to film. 😀
You gotta clean the pot with thinners maybe cross contamination , hardener s going off at different rates
Your work is magnificent! You turn wood to unwind -- I watch woodturning videos to unwind. How many hours or days of craftsmanship does one video represent?
Thank you Linda! It depends on the project. Wood only projects might take 3-4 hours, wood and resin twice that. I pick at them a little whenever i have an hour here and there...
I actually think the pine ended up having a really nice look to it and as far as the white section it does look like it was exposed to moisture I've seen alot of other people cleaning the surface with denatured alcohol before adding the second pour so that may help. Beautiful work for a very worthy cause.
Thank you very much!
Artforour.org
Beautiful piece. I know nothing about epoxy but you may want to get a vibrator of some kind to free up the air bubbles.
Thanks Larry!
Artforour.org
i watch your videos here in South Africa you seem to be the best or so i believe your nose is biger than mine but your ears are not as big as mine and yes i got a piece of wood in my ear!
Congrats!

Just found you today. Love Love Love Everything so far. If you've not herd of The Positive Couple check them out. He make Massive Pieces and make his molds for each project. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Awesome! Thanks for the advice and support!
Artforour.org
The heat being generated from you first pour messed with the bonding of your second.
Whenever you pour resin, you'll want to use the correct amount all in one pour. Otherwise, you'll want to heat the top of your first pour to pop any bubbles that'll form on top and allow the first pour harden entirely. Then, sand the surface to ensure the second will bond without the clouds. The resin will hide the scratches so it doesn't have to be smooth.
Thank you for the feedback!
Artforour.org
I have the same lathe. It does have a lock for the headstock with a divider its the knurled knob above the motor.
Well dang! I better take a look!
Preciosa. Dios te bendiga.
Gracias!
Artforour.org
Perfeito 👏
Gracias!

Use 6 mil plastic (thick and slick) Epoxy won’t stick to it, for your forms. Wrap tape around it for near zero clearance
Thanks Scott!
I dont know how to help with keeping the resin in on the outside other than what you did but if you had rough turned the outside then used a router very carefully to route out your spiral or a rotary carver like a dremmel or some such before you hollowed out the inside then you wouldnt have to worry about that part at least. if I recall thats close to what you did for your Autumn Windows bowl.
Good ideas! Thank for your support!
Artforour.org
All you need to use is Johnson paste wax. You don't even need to buff it.
Would it get stuck in cracks?
Artforour.org
I Like this piece! I'd love to tell you the answer about the frosty resin, but the only thing I can think of is more air bubbles perfusing the resin, maybe because the earlier mass has cooled significantly?
Also, Jim Sprague (Sprague Woodturning, TH-cam) uses expired rice inside a plastic bag, as resin savers, inside his molds, so that if there are any leaks, he can still turn it.
Good ideas! Thank you!
Artforour.org
For your frost issue, try different epoxy...... I like and use total boat and have zero complaints.
Hope this helps.
Totally. That's what I've been using lately.
@@artgivinghope
Did it work with the frost issues ?
Yes. Really dry wood plus the total boat fathom resin plus a vacuum chamber followed by a pressure pot gets it crystal clear ...
I am curious if you can contact a company that does silicone mats or flexible fabric? Im thinking you could potentially use them over and over. Hot glue would also peel right off. Saran wrap? Anyway, i like your channel and it seems like you are a stellar human too!
Thank you Jennifer! Good ideas!

Some resins turn whitish with higher humidity exposure.
Agreed! I'm discovering all the ways not to do it. :)
Artforour.org
I wonder of a 2-
Liter soda bottle would have been easier than the bags or combination of the two
It probably would have been... good idea.
Artforour.org
👍👍
Thanks!
ArtForOUR.org
You can tighten down the spindle lock on the left side of the headstock,after the red button is pushed in. I have the 18/36. I really like it. I hope this helps .
Yes! I discovered that shortly after. Huge help!
Hey, Dan another great one! As I watch your video’s I get ideas and stop and make a comment! What about a balloon instead of a bag? Would the chemicals in the resin deteriorate the balloon before it set-up?
Good idea! There's one way to find out!
Certain resins are far more exact in measuring and will cloud if not just right,temp humidy all have a huge impact take care god bless
Thanks!
ArtForOUR.org
Always use your centers untill ya lighten the load and always mask up from one turner to another saftey first lol and check out the crown hollower it will take you places good vid peace
Thank you for the advice!
well done,do what makes you happy, there should be a shoe to control the depth of your rotozip ,thanks,BM,aka,woodbutcher
Thank you!
👍😊
Thanks!

Thank you! Much appreciated.

The resin issue could be that the resin is already setting when you make the second pour. Either allow it to set all the way or do it in one pour.
Good ideas.... thanks!

👍👍😀
Use teflon tape next time. They use that for resin table work and river pours.
Thank you for the advice!
